Looking for a quick fix? You’re in the wrong place.

Due to a family emergency we are not currently accepting new training clients. We deeply regret thisinconvenience.

In dog training there is

No fairy dust.

No magic wands.

No easy buttons.

After a real solution? We can help!

In absence of fairy dust, magic wands and easy buttons we do have the science of humane behavior modification, and a lot of experience using it. Changing behavior takes time and our private dog training program isn’t just a service, it’s an education—for your dog and for you. To get real results, your behavior will have to change, too. If you’re not up for that, you’ll probably be frustrated with the training process and disappointed in the outcome. But if you’re ready to work and to learn, change awaits.

How our Private Training programs work:

How does our in-home dog training, what we refer to as private training, work? Well, it all begins with your application. Filling out the Pre-ConsultationApplication is the first step on your training journey. We need to know a bit about you, your dog, and your dog training goals.

Next, we’ll contact you to schedule your 90 minute initial consult. We work with you to find a day and time that will work mutually for both of us. Initial Consultation slots are dependent upon availability.

At the Initial Consult we will assess your dog and the situation, and you’ll learn why your dog is behaving the way they do and what can be done about it. There will be no training at the Initial Consult—remember, no quick fixes. No magic spells.

The great thing about the way we have our private training program set up is that you do not have to commit to our program right out of the gate. We understand that in-home training is a big commitment, not only financially, but of your time and emotion as well. From the consultation we can determine that best course of action to reach your training goals, the number sessions and the total cost of the private training.

After you’ve reviewed your Private Dog Training proposal, it’s your choice whether or not to pursue the private training – with no pressure from us.

What It Costs

The Initial Consult is $250 If we take your case, expect on average between 8 and 12 sessions in most cases. An average package cost for training serious behavior issues can run from $2,000 and up, while the average cost for training basic manners can run from $1000.00 and up. You’ll be given a quote at the initial consult, customized to your situation and training goals. Prices are not negotiable but you can call us anytime to discuss the dog training prices for different programs and get an estimate.

Yes, we’re expensive. And we’re worth it. Unlike most training services, which take on 20-25 cases at a time, dispensing quick advice and leaving clients to their own devices to execute it, we only take on a handful of cases at a time. This allows us to customize dog training plans to our students’ goals and see you through the entire process.

Our goal is real change, and in the absence of fairy dust, that takes time and attention.

We guarantee to give you, your dog, and your goals our utmost attention, care, and respect. We guarantee to use only positive, scientifically sound training methods. We guarantee to customize and help you execute a dog training plan designed to give you the best chance of reaching your goals.

And we guarantee never to guarantee training results. That’s right. It is considered unethical by our governing bodies, including the CCPDT and APDT, to guarantee the behavior of another living being. Be wary of any dog trainer who guarantees specific outcomes. But we can guarantee that if you follow our advice and training rules, your life with your dog will become much smoother.
